First lines

How pure you are by sunlight or by fallen night, how triumphal and boundless your orbit of white, and your bosom of bread, high in climate, your crown of black trees, beloved, and your lone-animal nose, nose of a wild sheep that smells of shadow and of precipitous, tyrannical flight.

Now, what splendid weapons my hands, how worthy their blade of bone and their lily nails, and the placing of my face and the rental of my soul are situated in the center of earthly force.
